Abstract
The duties imposed on employers to reasonably accommodate employees in Canada arise directly out of anti-discrimination law, as requirements of obligations to afford equal opportunity without discrimination. This is unlike the United States and the European Union, where duties to accommodate merely supplement anti-discrimination law. This paper begins by outlining Canadian anti-discrimination doctrine in general terms and how it originated within the Canadian legal system. It then describes the scope of employers’ duties to accommodate and specifically addresses how employers have been required to accommodate religious belief and expression, disability, age and family status in the Canadian workplace. It next considers the few sources of reasonable accommodation obligations beyond those imposed by anti-discrimination law. It concludes by reflecting on some of the deficiencies of Canadian legal institutions to implement reasonable accommodation duties in the Canadian workplace. Despite their centrality to Canadian anti-discrimination law, most duties to accommodate are implemented primarily through institutions designed to respond to the complaints of individuals. This makes Canadian workplace law towards reasonable accommodation primarily reactive and has left gaps in the accommodation of Canadian workers.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
